The 2nd version of Science & Cocktails is back again and begins with an expedition to one of most remote areas of the globe: the North Pole.

Jørgen Steffensen, Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute will explain how a simple ice core from Greenland can tell us the story of past climate changes, pollution and of volcanic eruptions.

After a Q&A at the bar and old fashioned cocktails almost as old as the ice cores themselves, carefully prepared by Lars E. Lyndgaard Schmidt and his team, Andy Benz will take the stage and blend together a double bass act with live loops and spontaneous electronic sounds.
